B cell signalling pathways—New targets for precision medicine in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
Abstract The B cell receptor (BCR) is a master regulator of B cells, controlling cellular processes such as proliferation, migration and survival. Cell signalling downstream of the BCR is aberrantly activated in the B cell malignancy chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), supporting the pathophysiology of the disease.

Background and Purpose There are no medications currently available to treat metabolic inflammation. Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is highly expressed in monocytes and macrophages and regulates NF‐κB and NLRP3 inflammasome activity; both propagate metabolic inflammation in diet‐induced obesity.

Summary SARS‐CoV‐2 infection can cause severe pneumonia (COVID‐19). There is evidence that patients with comorbidities are at higher risk of a severe disease course. The role of immunosuppression in the disease course is not clear. In the present report, we first describe two cases of persisting SARS‐CoV‐2 viraemia with fatal outcome in patients after ...

Background: X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) is a rare immunodeficiency disease, and the main clinical symptoms is recurrent severe infections. BTK is the main disease-causing gene, and the genetic mode is X chromosome recessive inheritance.

We pre‐clinically evaluated the safety of granulocyte–macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GMCSF) receptor (GMR)–chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. For this purpose, we used a novel immunocompetent non‐human primate (NHP) model, established using bioengineered cynomolgus T cells expressing CAR‐T molecules redirected against the GMR by piggyBac ...

Targeting Brutons Tyrosine Kinase in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia at the Crossroad between Intrinsic and Extrinsic Pro-survival Signals [PDF]
Chemo immunotherapies for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) showed a positive impact on clinical outcome, but many patients relapsed or become refractory to the available treatments.

Atypical X-linked agammaglobulinaemia caused by a novel BTK mutation in a selective immunoglobulin M deficiency patient [PDF]
BackgroundX-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA) is the most common inherited humoural immunodeficiency disorder. Mutations in the gene coding for Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) have been identified as the cause of XLA.

Role of Bruton's tyrosine kinase in B cells and malignancies [PDF]
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a non-receptor kinase that plays a crucial role in oncogenic signaling that is critical for proliferation and survival of leukemic cells in many B cell malignancies. BTK was initially shown to be defective in the primary

Severe platelet dysfunction in NHL patients receiving ibrutinib is absent in patients receiving acalabrutinib [PDF]
The Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (Btk) inhibitor ibrutinib induces platelet dysfunction and causes increased risk of bleeding. Off-target inhibition of Tec is believed to contribute to platelet dysfunction and other side-effects of ibrutinib.

Future therapeutic targets in rheumatoid arthritis? [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by persistent joint inflammation. Without adequate treatment, patients with RA will develop joint deformity and progressive functional impairment.
